Off the kitchen is a separate utility room with washer/dryer and a shower room where you can wash any muddy attire and prepare for the day.

Very clean and well equipped. Only the explanations about the washing/drying machine could be more detailed. Eg. How to tumble dry only or just not at all... Very nice welcome basket.

This house has a beautiful homely feel & when you open the door upon arrival it certainly has the WOW FACTOR!! The welcome pack was a lovely idea & full of goodies to share & the locally produced home made ruby grapefruit marmalade was divine & enjoyed by everyone. Every room is spacious & beautifully decorated throughout & there is plenty of seating area for everyone to relax in the evening with their feet up whilst watching movies & enjoying family tme together. The big Farmhouse kitchen is lovely with plenty of room & fully equipped for cooking family meals with the added bonus of a dishwasher & a sepearate utility room for doing the laundry...marvellous!! The bedrooms are all spacious with lots of storage & beautiful comfy king size beds with crisp clean sheets & we all slept really well every night & didn't want to get up in the mornings LOL!! The views are simply amazing & the only thing you can hear in the beautiful gardens is the variety of birds singing...this house is immaculate throughout & absolute PARADISE & we have all been so chilled & relaxed there & even though the weather has been brilliant sunshine all week apart from 1 drizzly day we have only ventured out twice as we enjoyed sitting out in the garden together so much. This has definitely been the best house we have ever stayed in & we will most definitely be booking to return next year.
